Oracle E-Business Suite Integrated SOA Gateway allows the following three roles to access the Integration Repository user interfaces and perform necessary tasks. Each user role is associated with a specific responsibility by default to access the Integration Repository.
Integration Analyst - Integration Repository responsibility
Integration Developer - Integrated SOA Gateway responsibility
Integration Administrator - Integrated SOA Gateway responsibility
Please note that the Integration Administrator role is assigned to the SYSADMIN user by default.
Users granted different roles can perform various tasks as described in the following table:
| Privileges | Integration Analyst | Integration Developer | Integration Administrator |
|---|---|---|---|
| View Public Interfaces | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| View Private/Internal Interfaces | No | Yes | Yes |
| Generate/Regenerate SOAP Web Services | No | Yes | Yes |
| Deploy/Undeploy SOAP Web Services | No | No | Yes |
| Activate SOAP Web Services | No | No | Yes |
| Retire SOAP Web Services | No | No | Yes |
| Reset SOAP Web Services | No | No | Yes |
| Deploy/Undeploy REST Web Services | No | No | Yes |
| Subscribe to Business Events | No | No | Yes |
| Create Grants | No | No | Yes |
| View Grants | No | Yes | Yes |
| Download Composite Service | No (Configurable) | Yes | Yes |
Note: Oracle E-Business Suite Integrated SOA Gateway leverages the concepts of permissions and permission sets to grant data access privileges or permissions to users through roles. For example, multiple privileges related to administrative functions can be grouped into an administrative permission set and then granted to a user through the Integration Administrator role. That user becomes an integration administrator and has privileges to perform administrative tasks.
Integration analysts by default do not have the privilege to download composite services unless they are granted the download privilege through a permission set. For more information on how to manage security through roles, see Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) Security.
For information on SOAP and REST Web services and how to perform additional administrative tasks, see Common Information on SOAP Web Services and Common Information on REST Web Services.
For information on how to manage security grants, see Managing Grants.
In this release, you can access Oracle Integration Repository through either of the following responsibilities depending on your assigned user role:
Note: There are three predefined user roles used in the Oracle E-Business Suite Integrated SOA Gateway: Integration Analyst, Integration Developer, and Integration Administrator. For more information about these roles, see Understanding Oracle E-Business Suite Integrated SOA Gateway User Roles.
Integration Analyst Role: Integration Repository Responsibility > Integration Repository
Only users who are granted the Integration Analyst role can find the Integration Repository responsibility from the navigation menu.
After selecting the Integration Repository responsibility and the Integration Repository link from the navigation menu, users who have the Integration Analyst role can navigate, search, and view existing integration interface definitions and services from the Integration Repository.
Please note that when accessing the Integration Repository through this approach, these users do not have the privileges to perform any administrative tasks which are done by the users who have the Integration Administrator role through the Integrated SOA Gateway responsibility.
Integration Developer Role or Integration Administrator Role: Integrated SOA Gateway Responsibility > Integration Repository
Only users who are granted the Integration Developer role or the Integration Administrator role can find the Integrated SOA Gateway responsibility from the navigation menu.
Similar to accessing the Integration Repository home page through the Integration Repository responsibility, users can search and view existing interface and service details through the repository. Additionally, users who are granted the Integration Administrator role have more privileges to generate and deploy Web services and create security grants through the Integration Repository user interface.
Furthermore, users who have the Integration Administrator role can find the Administration link in addition to the Integration Repository link from the navigator menu. The Administration link lets the administrators perform additional administrative tasks outside the Integration Repository user interface. See: Accessing the Administration Link to Perform Additional Administrative Tasks.
Accessing the Administration Link to Perform Additional Administrative Tasks:
After logging in to Oracle E-Business Suite with the Integrated SOA Gateway responsibility, an integration administrator can find the Administration link in addition to the Integration Repository link from the Navigator menu.
This Administration link is specifically for the integration administrator to perform additional administrative tasks outside the Integration Repository user interface. Expand the Administration link to display:
Service Monitor link: This link allows the administrator to access the Service Monitor user interface where the administrator can monitor and audit all SOAP messages passed through Oracle SOA Suite for Oracle E-Business Suite Web services.
Please note that Service Monitor was previously known as SOA Monitor. For information about how to use Service Monitor, see Monitoring SOAP Messages Using Service Monitor.
Configuration link: This link allows the administrator to access the centralized Log and Audit configuration user interface where the administrator can add log configuration and service audit at the integration interface level.
For information about log configuration, see Logging for Web Services.
For detailed information on each task performed by the users who have the Integration Administrator role, see Oracle E-Business Suite Integrated SOA Gateway Implementation Guide. For tasks related to the users who have the Integration Developer role, see Oracle E-Business Suite Integrated SOA Gateway Developer's Guide.
Integration Repository has the following major user interfaces:
